The asymptotes of a hyperbola are the lines x + y + 1 = 0 and 2x - y + 2 = 0, and the line x - 2 = 0 is tangent to the hyperbola. Its equation has the form 4(x + y + 1)(2x - y + 2) = lambda. Find lambda.

  1. 9
  2. 16
  3. 12
  4. 4

Correct answer: 9

Solution

Putting x = 2 yields a quadratic in y; the tangency (equal roots) condition determines lambda = 9.
